CSRI Director Jane Nelson joined Nestle's Niels Christiansen, Harvard Business School Professors Ray Goldberg and Kash Rangan, and the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition's Dr. Berangere Magarinos, among others, to discuss successful agribusiness models in low income markets, and how 4 billion poor can benefit from new investments at the base of the pyramid.
Nelson spoke on panels focused on building successful partnerships
in the agribusiness sector
and on "Capitalism 2.0" the power of
innovation, partnerships and knowledge
exchange. The three day session provided insights into agribusiness strategies that promote business opportunities in low income markets and tackle the urgent need to reduce poverty, hunger and malnutrition. The program brought together business executives and public sector leaders from around the world at a critical time for the global food system—as it faces the impacts of the food price, water, energy and environmental crises.
Participants tackled the multiple threat with new thinking about how to engage with the four billion people at the Base of the Pyramid (BoP) as potential business partners and consumers, drawing from the perspective of innovative, real-life examples.
